Both the developed and developing world confront intensifying impacts on rivers and other water resources. This seminar takes an interdisciplinary approach to these challenges by examining how societies have adapted to variability in the past and considers the tools we have to manage future variability in river flows and sediment loads.

Organized by Stephanie Jones-Rogers (History), David Lieberman (Law), Rebecca McLennan (History) and Christopher Tomlins (Law), goals of this interdisciplinary faculty program are to enhance and better coordinate the large body of campus research that connects law and history.
